Ingredients

Garnish

Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)

Main

Ghee — 100 g (whole)
Avakaya (Mango Pickle) — 4 tbsp (whole)
rice — 250 g (ground)
salt (optional) (whole)

Method

Cook the rice with enough water until soft and fully done, then spread it out on a plate to cool slightly so the grains stay separate.
In a large bowl, add the cooked rice while still warm.
Add the ghee to the warm rice and mix gently so every grain gets coated well.
Add the avakaya mango pickle along with a little of its oil, and salt to taste as needed, keeping in mind the pickle is already salty.
Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the pickle masala is evenly spread through the rice, taking care not to mash the rice grains.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve the Pelli Avakaya Rice at room temperature, a classic wedding-feast favourite, alongside papad or curd.
